Great Power Long Sky

The J-6 modified No. 101 did not slow down. Xue Shuang could clearly see the two turbojet engines leaving long trails of flame in the dark, indicating that the engines were working at full speed.

This is not surprising. At this altitude, the aircraft needs to maintain sufficient power to perform many of the maneuvers that can be easily accomplished at an altitude of several thousand meters.

The problem was that Xue Shuang clearly saw a tongue of fire shooting out from the wing root of the J-6 modified No. 101.

What is that?

Those are fucking cannonballs!

Li Lu opened fire?

Xue Shuang was immediately terrified.

Immediately afterward, Li Lu's voice came through the radio, calm and collected, "East Commander, East Commander, this is 1011, emergency! My cannon is malfunctioning! Repeat! The fuselage cannon is out of service!"

The commander was a bit confused. So what if the cannon malfunctioned? It didn't affect normal flight, and there was no regulation requiring the use of cannons for interception missions...

In that instant, the commander of the eastern command post snapped back to reality and asked urgently, "What's wrong? What exactly is wrong?"

Li Lu reported in a calm voice, "The aircraft cannons opened fire automatically, I'm dealing with it..."

……

Li Lu tried his best to maneuver the plane to change its direction, but he was a step too slow. A burst of shells fired in front of him headed straight for the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane.

The pilot of the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane saw a flash of light out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head sharply and saw the trail of fire left by tracer shells.

What?

They've opened fire?

"1000, the plane looks normal on the outside," Xue Shuang said to Li Lu over the radio.

Li Lu glanced at the various data on the instrument panel and said, "The plane is fine, except for the cannon malfunction."

"East Commander, request permission for Yao Dong and his two companions to follow and observe the target and confirm its situation," Li Lu called out to East Commander.

The East Command is still unclear about the specific situation in the sky, and having a fighter jet track and monitor the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft will help to obtain more information.

Immediately, Dong Zhi issued a tracking and surveillance order to Xue Shuang.

At this moment, Li Lu's emotions were quite stable; the sudden situation just now did not cause any fluctuation in his emotions or heart rate.

The J-6 modified fighter jet he was flying is the most numerous high-altitude, high-maneuverability variant currently in service with the military, equipped with three 30mm cannons, model 30-1.

There is one door at the wing root and another on the right side of the fuselage. Each door at the wing root has 70 rounds of ammunition, and the door on the right side of the fuselage has 55 rounds, for a total of 195 rounds.

Fighter jets on combat readiness duty are definitely fully armed.

The problem was with the cannon on the right side of the fuselage; all fifty-five rounds were used up.

Without being fired, the cannon on the right side of the fuselage fired automatically, while the two cannons at the wing root did not, indicating that the problem lies with the cannon itself on the right side of the fuselage.

In short, this matter is troublesome.

After Li Lu returned to Donghai Air Station, the ground crew immediately towed the aircraft into the No. 1 maintenance hangar. The Air Force duty room of the military region directly ordered the air station to send out sentries to provide 24-hour uninterrupted security for the No. 1 maintenance hangar.

According to procedure, after Li Lu landed, no one in the 7th Air Regiment, including him, was allowed to touch the J-6 modified aircraft number 101. Wang Bicheng's maintenance team, who was in charge of this support, was once again ordered to stay in the dormitory and was not allowed to leave. All personnel related to the support received the same treatment.

Wang Bicheng and his colleagues were devastated, but a program is a program.

Li Lu returned to the duty room of the Second Brigade and waited.

About an hour later, Xue Shuang returned.

After filling out the flight log and handing over his work, Xue Shuang returned to the duty room of the Second Squadron.

Xu Hailiang, Fang Zhenwei, Zhao Chaoyang, and others, along with Li Lu, had been waiting there for a long time.

This display of force put Xue Shuang under immense pressure.

Li Lu asked first, "How is it?"

Everyone stared at Xue Shuang, holding their breath and waiting for the answer.

Xue Shuang swallowed hard, suppressing her emotions, and said in a low voice, "It fell into the sea."

Li Lu's lips curled into a smile, but he suddenly noticed Fang Zhenwei's icy gaze. He immediately composed himself, punched his right fist into his left palm, and said regretfully, "If I had reacted quickly enough to change the direction of the plane, this wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault!"

"Sigh! It's just that I'm not as skilled as others!"

Fang Zhenwei gave him a "I don't believe you" look, but no matter how dogmatic he was, he wouldn't criticize Li Lu at this moment.

Xu Hailiang took a deep breath and said, "The investigation team will arrive tomorrow... and representatives from headquarters will also be coming."

When Chen Hai crashed, the head of the Air Force personally came to the scene.

This time, the Air Force Command's attitude seems somewhat ambiguous.

Anyway, it wasn't one of our planes that crashed...
